I recently purchased a 94' FD that came with a Clifford Alarm (aftermarket) and a aftermarket stereo system. I know nothing about car stereos, and for some reason if the car sits for more than about 6 or 7 days, something is draining the power from the battery, and the car needs to be jump started. The car has a 6 disc CD changer, amp, single subwoofer and a headunit. There is a single thick red wire attached to the positive terminal of the battery leading to the rear of the car. I do not arm the clifford alarm and to my knowledge, the stereo is off. Any ideas as to what is draining the battery?

 

My guess would be that an acc. wire is hooked up as a constant and therefore draining the battery. If you never use the alarm unhook everything and take it out and see if that helps, if not you could unhook the power wire for the amp (the big wire) off of the battery. Then the last i could think of would be the deck is wired wrong which is possible.

 

well could be anything, but the alarm will probably draw enough current to kill the battery in 7 days, even if you don't arm it, it will still draw current, lets just say its waiting for you to arm it
